OpenDemocracy

OpenDemocracy is an online global magazine of politics and culture that publishes clarifying debates which help people make up their own minds. The finest writing, the strongest arguments, the most compelling views and truthful voices on key issues, great and small. Written by and for people across the world, from South and North, from the powerless to the influential, openDemocracy seeks to bring together those who are not well-known with writers and thinkers of international repute.

You will be invited to take part - in the forums or by submitting your own material to the editors. You will be asked to engage with other sides of the argument, not just the ones that are popular - or promoted by the large companies who dominate the media today. You will be encouraged to draw on your own experience.


 * Rosemary Bechler former International Editor

"Its first editor in chief was Anthony Barnett. He was succeeded by Isabel Hilton. Tony Curzon Price became editor in chief in 2007."
